• Do NOT place any objects or equipment on top of the unit.
• Do NOT sit, climb or stand on the unit.
WARNING
During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as indicated
on the nameplate of the unit).
WARNING
• Never mix different refrigerants or allow air to enter the refrigerant system.
• Never charge recovered refrigerant from another unit. Use recovered refrigerant only on the same unit where it was
recovered from, or have it recycled at a certified facility.
WARNING: RISKOF FIRE
• When reconnecting a connector to the PCB, do not apply force or damage the connector or the connector pins on the
PCB.
WARNING: RISKOFBURNING
• Do NOT touch the refrigerant piping, water piping or internal parts during and immediately after operation. It could be
too hot or too cold. Give it time to return to normal temperature. If you must touch it, wear protective gloves.
• Do NOT touch any accidental leaking refrigerant.
WARNING
Always recover the refrigerants. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Use a recovery pump to evacuate
the installation.
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately.
Possible risks:
• Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen deficiency.
• Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire.
Where applicable, pump down the system and close the service valve, before leaving the site if leak was not repaired, to
avoid further leaking of the refrigerant.
WARNING: RISKOFELECTROCUTION
• Turn OFF all power supply before removing the switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or touching electrical
parts. Where applicable, stop the equipment's operation first and allow (refrigerant) pressure to equalize, before
turning OFF the power. Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute, and measure the voltage at the
terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The voltage must be less than 50 V DC
before you can touch electrical components. For the location of the terminals, refer to "Wiring diagram" on page 98.
• Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.
• Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service cover is removed.
• Protect electric components from getting wet while the service cover is opened.

ESIE16-02B | Part 1. Introduction1.3. General operation
1.3. General operation
• These split units are used for comfort cooling and are equipped with an inverter.
• The rotation speed rps (= rotation per second) of the inverter driven compressor, modulated by the inverter, can be varied
according the required capacity in the room.
• The compressor capacity step is changed in order to reach target compression ratio. The target compression ratio is calculated
from deviation between actual and target condensation and evaporation temperature.
• Tc (condensing temperature) is used in heating mode.
• Te (evaporation temperature) is used if any indoor unit operates in cooling mode.
• The evaporating temperature in the heat exchanger is controlled by the electronic expansion valve.
• When indoor unit is selecting heating mode, discharge gas is supplied by the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
• When indoor unit is selecting cooling mode, liquid refrigerant is supplied by the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.

3.1.3. Refrigerant pump down
This unit is equipped with an automatic pump down operation which will collect all refrigerant from the field piping and indoor unit
in the outdoor unit. To protect the environment, make sure to perform the following pump down operation when relocating the unit.
WARNING: RISKOFEXPLOSION
• When the refrigeration circuit has a leak, do not execute pump down with the compressor.
• Use recovery system into separate cylinder.
• Warning, explosive hazard exists when executing pump down.
• Pump down with compressor can lead to self-combustion due to air entering during pump down.
INFORMATION
Some outdoor units are equipped with a low pressure switch to protect the compressor by switching it off.
Never short-circuit the low pressure switch during pump down operation!
3.1.3.1. Small outdoor unit

b. Once operation stops (after 3 to 5 minutes), close the liquid and the gas stop valve.
7. Pump down is now finished. U4 may be displayed on the remote controller, this is not a malfunction.
8. (After “pump down” is finished or stopped, keep the circulation pump running for at least 5 minutes.)
9. Switch OFF the power supply of the outdoor unit.
NOTE
• Make sure to re-open both stop valves before restart operation of the unit.
• After a finished or stopped pump down, the unit will perform a test run at first operation (same as during
commissioning).
3.1.4. Piping repair procedures
• Make sure to cover open pipe ends during repair work so no dust or moisture can enter.
• Make sure to re-apply insulation removed during repair.
• Pipe expansion / flare making:
- Remove any burrs on the cut surface and use correct tool such as reamer or scraper (note that excessive deburring can
thin the pipe walls and cause cracking of the pipe).
- Make sure the flare has the correct size (use a flare gauge).
- Make sure no particles remain in the piping.
- Apply just a drop of refrigerant oil on the inner surface of the flare.
- Make sure the flare connection is tightened with the correct torque (torque values refer to installation manual).
• Brazing:
- Use correct brazing tool.
- Use a phosphor copper filler metal (silver composition of 0 to 2%). Do not use flux material.
- Flush the piping before brazing with nitrogen to avoid oxidation of the inside of the copper tubes (nitrogen purity ≥ 99,99%).
